This is the second year in a row that Ford picks up awards for best truck and utility vehicle. Galhotra said it's a "great recognition" for their team that developed the "awesome" products and that he's proud of the relationship Ford has with their truck customers.
"We made some tough calls, for example, the call to exit the sedan market at some point and to start focusing on our icons," said Galhotra.
Car of the year went to the Honda Civic.
